the reading rooms of the b. Il. O. Elks
625 east Broad street. accompanied by
Mr.. Arthur Elliott, Mr. G. w. Roberts
and wife, and Mr. c. Palmoni, of her

W. ID. Runnals, sergeant of the city of
Staunton, and N. c. Watts, deputy sheriff
of Augusta county, were in the city yes
terday. They both brought down Iunatics
to be placed in the Pinel Hospital, which

FIRE FTEND.
Big Blaze Last Night-Probably the Work
of an Incendiary.

A few minutes before 10 o'clock last
night the rear of the dwelling No. sos
North Eighteenth street was discovered
to be on fire. An alarm was at once turned
in from Box %, corner Seventeenth and
Marshall streets. This promptly brought
out Steamers | and 2 and Hook and Lad
der Company No. 2. The firemen at once
went to work, and in few moments had
several streams upon the fire In the
meantime the flames had extended TO Nos.
SOC and 80 on either side of the original
fire Fearing an extensive conflagration
the Chief, at 1890, called out No. 3engine,
which responded in a few moments. After
an hours hard work the flames were
finally subdued and the apparatus took
its departure.
Mr. Curry, the occupant of No SOC, the
house in which the fire was frst discov-
cred, said that he was awakened by the
roaring OF the flames, and that upon go
ing outdoors found the rear porch in
flames. This leads to the belief that the
house was set afire, as it is not probable
that it could catch in any other way on
the outside.
The rear portions of all three houses
are badly burnt, the loss probably aggre-
eating 800. All three houses are wood.
No. 500 is owned by John Sterling, and
occupied by Mrs. Wright, who succeeded
in saving portion of her furniture.
No. sos is the property of Mrs John
son. Mrs Bradshaw, who resides on
Ihe first floor of this tenement probably
loses about $40 on her furniture. Mr..
Curry, who occupies down stairs, lost all
MS furniture, and had no insurance. No. !

;upied by Horatio Yarbrough.

lor, who suddenly bellies his reputation as
a hater Of women by engaging himself to
three at once. The complications arising
out of this situation and his being taken
to an insane asylum by mistake furnish
an immense amount of fun-a large share
of which is, of course, for reasons well

There are certain items of dress that
the typical New York female will not
dispense with-whateyer the limitations
OF her purse may forbid in other
things. First, she will have pair OF
French slippers or dressy shoes for the

Suits of Three Materials and Suits of

The Correct Thing To Wear.

Almost all men find it convenient to
have suit that will answer for several
different occasions, as an informal
gathering of social nature in the day
time, business visit or an informal
call. Ii is the general plan to fall back
upon the Prince Albert for this purpose,
but the tailors, in irving to supply the
demand, have great opportunity for
offering individual STYLES that cannot
be regarded as other than correct The
coat will always be a double breasted
frock, but the material may differ wide
ly, and there will bee room for personal
choice in the makeup of sleeves. cuffs
and collars. Gray diagonals will be
much worn this season, and next in
popularity will be striped chevoits. 1t
will be CORE To wear with this coat a
fancy vest unless it should be a rainy
day, in which case the good dresser
must have on hand vest of the same
material as his coat. There will be a
difference in the lapels of coats of this
class according 10 the color and texture
of the material. Black or dark worsteds
will have wider lapels than the gray or
striped goods. In placing designs for
half dress suit before his customers
a good tailor will not hesitate to show
what has been popularity known as the
morning suit, the distinguishing char
acteristic of which il the cutaway coat.
it is probable that this neat, sensible
garment will never be entirely out of
style. 1t is made in three styles, one

The latter is the most popular, and the
first is especially adapted to corpulent
gentlemen. 1t is one inch shorter than
either of the others.

thing for business wear. The single
breasted coat, closing with four but

most highly esteemed by active bust

banished on account of the way it has
been crowded on the market by
clothiers

Peas for MIX.

Peas have been found an exceedingly
effective food for producing milk. In the
feeding test OF a noted Jersey cow, in
which an average of seven pounds OF
butter daily was given for week, sixteen
pounds OF pea meal was fed per day, with
sixteen pounds Of oat meal, and "a pounds
of corn meal. Excellent pasture was also
provided. This feed would supply an
enormous excess of nutrltiye elements
above those required for maintenance,
giving four and half times as much al
bumnoids, three times as much carbo-
hydrateS. and eight times as much fat as
would be required for cow in ordinary
milk. No doubt, il a COW can digest suf-
iicient food of the right kind. oil for in
stance, kind of butter might be produced
which would far exceed the enormous
product above q lined for the jersey cow.
In such "A case, cow would act as a filter
and merely separate the fats from the
food, and pass ii through the udder.
There could be no chemical change in the
albuminoidS or the carbohydrates into fat,
as is effected i'm the ordinary feeding OF
dairy cows. for the system of the COW Is
unable to do much work. The effect of
the pea meal in this case was probably
due to lis effect in enabling the COW o
digest the large quantity of corn and grass,
which was consumed. This effect OF some
food is of great Importance. Pea meal
seems TO exert greater effect i'm this
direction than any other food. American
